      I have Siberian Strike (which I love), iFighter, Sky Force Reloaded and the Star Trek one. Any other suggestions?

      Thanks in advance.

      The Star Trek one is probably quite good (haven't played it myself) but these are the most solid SHMUP's in the app store otherwise:

      SkyForce Reloaded
      HotField
      Sentry Alpha
      iFighter
      Siberian Strike

      A new one came out recently called Glandarius Wing Strike which opts for a much simpler control scheme but otherwise looks good though I haven't played it.

      BlueAttack, Sphereroids, and wait for Circuit Strike One and Isotope, but there are many others. BelowScape, Nanofighter, Anomally, and 2079 are all fantastic.

      HotField (I think it is a app like this not sure though)
      OR
      Hotfield Lite

      Out of the couple I've played this is my most favorite.
